Update... a near zonal flow is in place across the region this evening, with some mid and high clouds streaming eastward into the central Gulf of Mexico. High pressure remains in place at the surface. For tonight, this high shifts eastward a bit, allowing low-level winds to become more southwesterly. This in turn will lead to an increase in moisture and some additional cloud cover intruding into the northern half of the forecast area by sunrise. There could also be a few showers before dawn, mainly across the northern Gulf waters and the northern Nature Coast region, but this is a fairly isolated chance so will keep pops at 20 percent or less. Other than that, really not a whole lot going on weather-wise across the local area. Temperatures will bottom out in the 40s and 50s tomorrow morning, generally a few degrees warmer than this morning. No major changes needed for the evening update.

Aviation... VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the forecast period. Winds will remain out of the southeast, increasing into the 8-10 knot range during the day. Should see a bkn layer of clouds around 5-6k feet develop after daylight, but should remain VFR.

Marine... high pressure over the area will shift eastward through Thursday night ahead of an approaching weak frontal boundary. Southwest winds will become more northerly and then northeast Friday and Saturday behind this front. High pressure will then settle back over the region for the end of the weekend. No headlines are expected for the next several days.
